ball carrying coming defining flying game physical played road starting throughout together trip
Starting with that six-game road trip, that was our defining moment. Right now we're coming through with flying colors. We went 3-3 on that trip but it's how we've played. We played physical and together and we were in every ball game and we're carrying that throughout the end of the season.
ball contact effects happy ill physical shy
We'll be especially happy if he can go out there and not have a lot of ill effects because of the thumb, like getting the ball where he can have physical contact and not shy away from it.
came carry glad grown hopefully last physical road war
We said it was going to be war going out. Literally, we spilled blood. It was a physical road trip. I'm glad it came down to that. We've grown up a little. Hopefully we can carry it out the last two weeks.
center forward great guards physical player presence quarters question special three
There's no question that he's a special player for us, ... I can play him at forward or center and he switches out on guards on pick-and-rolls. I can play him after he sits there for three quarters and he does a great job. I can play him when I feel we need a more physical presence tonight, more defense. He does everything for us. He's important for us.
adversity against calls competing continued deal defense distracted good learn missed paint physical plague played poor second
They just outplayed us in the second half. They were more physical than us in the paint and the same things continued to plague us - poor third-quarter performance, not competing in the paint, and being distracted by what's going on at the other end of the court. We have to learn to deal with adversity and not be distracted by missed calls or good defense being played against us.
emphasize good happen physical rules
It's good to have physical practices, but we have rules. We want competitive practices, and when we emphasize a physical approach, it's going to happen where you have some physical contact.
approach games intensity physical
It was one of those games where it was a playoff-type intensity and a physical approach was needed.
goes guy hard physical played seems suck ton type
It just seems we've been in a ton of these type of games. They are heartbreaking losses. We played hard and very physical but when a guy comes in and goes nine-for-nine for his threes you've just got to suck it up.
breaking decent defending finding four job minutes pick rolls tried
I thought we did a decent job (of defending James) early, four minutes I guess, and then he started breaking us down and making shots. Then we tried to double-team those pick and rolls and he started finding people.
catch kept momentum played quarter third
I thought we played okay, but they stole the momentum right from the third quarter and just kept it going and we couldn't catch up to them.
bad best good miss played proud shots small
I thought we had a good look. It was too bad it didn't go in. We did the best we could with Yao with the small lineup we played with. We made Yao miss some shots and I was proud of our team.
answer brand played simple
I thought they executed very well and played an all-around game. We didn't have an answer for Brand or Sam. They played well and we didn't - simple as that.
almost basketball brand chance deal deep gods guys learn playing road season shots team terrific three tie trying veteran win
I thought to win on the road is a big deal in the NBA, the season opener, almost a brand new team for us, ... We're trying to learn how to play with each other. We're a very deep team, a very veteran team and I'm just trying to find the right combinations out there with guys who are playing well, so it is a terrific win. They had a chance to tie it with three shots at the end and the basketball gods were with us.
jersey played stepped
I thought this was a very well played game. New Jersey stepped up and executed at the right times.
